Heee! Yeah it's fair enough to say that I strongly value creative freedom for and expression by developers over, ya know, heavy reliance on market testing. My attitude is old-fashioned that way and not very capitalistic. Not much of a supply and demand kinda person. But like I was saying in the OP, while I've been among the many known to harp on Microsoft for seeming to be more interested in just swooping in and cashing in on gaming than on advancing it as an art form in the past...I honestly don't see that as the case anymore today. I mean for example I was shocked to learn that As Dusk Falls is actually a first party game being published by Xbox themselves! When I listed games in the OP, it didn't really capture degrees of interest. I'm more interested in As Dusk Falls than in any and all games that have been announced or released for the PlayStation 5 so far. That's my most anticipated game at present, and it's a first party Xbox game! That's something that's never happened in the past.
Well anyway, if you need the pros of prioritizing the Series X in list form, in my mind those are...
1) it's got better graphical capabilities than PS5,
2) it seems faster than PS5, so far anyway,
3) it's quieter than PS5,
4) it's got superior backward compatibility,
5) it's got Game Pass,
6) it's smaller than PS5,
7) it's gonna wind up with more launch window games of interest to me and my most anticipated games, and...
8) it's the same price as PS5.
The Medium is the next game I'm really forward to playing. Won't be available for PlayStation 5 and the Series X will have the best version. Also not the type of game I'd historically associate with being an Xbox console exclusive type. I historically have mentally associated Xbox with like a jockish, posturing, bilking sort of attitude. Lots of shooters and sports games and racers and those being what people buy Xbox systems to play, monetizing everything to the hilt, needlessly gigantic systems and over-stylization. This Xbox gen seems to be offering qualitatively more diverse, deeper, and more creative games and strikes me as, well, more humble and substantive than what the PlayStation 5 is offering. For now anyway. Just my take.
